Instagram doesn't let outside sites read comments without a login, so this picker works from a pasted list. Copy the comments from your post, paste them here, set your rules, and draw winners at random. Nothing you paste leaves your browser.
How to use the Instagram Comment Picker
- Copy the comments from your post: one comment per line, starting with the username.
- Paste them into the box.
- Set your rules: one entry per person, tagged friends, a required hashtag, names to leave out.
- Choose winners and reserves, then press Pick winners.
- Screen-record the draw if you want to show followers it was fair.
Getting comments into the box
On a computer, open the post, expand all the comments, then select and copy them into a text editor. Keep one comment per line with the username first, like "@maria_k Love this! @tom". For big posts, a comment export tool saves time; paste its output here.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to log in to Instagram?
No. You paste the comments yourself, so we never touch your account.
How does the tag rule work?
It counts the @mentions in each comment. Set it to 2 and only comments that tag at least two people can win.
Can I leave out my own account?
Yes. Add your username to "Exclude these names".
Does it work for TikTok or Facebook comments?
Yes, as long as each line starts with the person's name.
